Muscle Maker Grill moving in on Mo.

October 17, 2012

Muscle Maker will open its first Missouri restaurant Oct. 25 in the city of Springfield. Part of a multi-unit agreement to develop locations throughout Missouri, the Springfield restaurant is located at 900 East Battlefield Road and features healthier choices of popular dishes, including chicken, seafood, pasta, burgers, wraps and entrée salads, Rod Silva, founder of Muscle Maker Grill, said in a company press release.

“Muscle Maker Grill has become one of the fastest-growing restaurant franchises because we are filling a void by offering people healthy choices to meet today’s hectic lifestyles,” he said. “We are excited to open our Springfield restaurant and look forward to offering members of the community great-tasting food that is also good for you.”

The owners of the Springfield store believe the chain’s concept is perfect for today’s increasingly health-conscious population.

“People are constantly trying to maintain a healthier diet but often times feel as though they have to sacrifice taste. Muscle Maker Grill offers a true alternative to anyone who wants to eat well and still enjoy the dishes they love without feeling guilty,” said co-owner Lisa Floyd. “We are truly excited to bring this unique concept to our community and look forward to helping people eat healthier.”

The Springfield restaurant will be the 63nd Muscle Maker Grill location. In addition to Missouri, Muscle Maker Grill has restaurants in Arkansas, California, Florida, Illinois, New Jersey, New York, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania and Texas.
